BOISE, Idaho, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) today announced it has appointed two experienced business leaders, Mark Liu and Christie Simons, to its board of directors.
Liu spent over 30 years with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), where he held increasingly important leadership positions, including senior vice president (2004-2012), co-chief operations officer (2012-2013), president and co-CEO (2013-2018), and executive chairman (2018-2024). Under his leadership, TSMC became the world's largest semiconductor foundry. Currently, he is the founder and chairman of J&M Copper Beech Ventures, a multi-strategy investment fund. Liu began his career at Intel Corporation as part of the company's development of its 32-bit microprocessor technology. He then moved to AT&T Bell Laboratory where he conducted fundamental high-speed electronics research. Liu's other board commitments include the University of California, Berkeley Engineering Advisory Board. He holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University, and master's and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley.
"Mark is a visionary leader with deep technical expertise and business acumen. He has decades of experience leading one of the world's most advanced and sophisticated semiconductor companies, with fab operations at the largest scale," said Micron Chairman, President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. "His experience will help guide Micron as we scale our business to address the growing opportunities unleashed by AI — from the data center to the edge."
Simons is a senior audit and assurance partner of Deloitte & Touche LLP. She is retiring from the company in May with nearly 30 years of experience serving technology clients worldwide. She has held several significant leadership roles at Deloitte while leading teams to address clients' most challenging problems, including global equity and debt offerings and enterprise-wide digital transformations. Simons recently led Deloitte's Global Semiconductor Center of Excellence, integrating the organization's multifaceted capabilities to serve global semiconductor clients across consulting, advisory, tax, and assurance. She also recently served as the U.S. Technology, Media, and Telecommunications industry leader for Deloitte's audit and assurance practice. Simons holds a bachelor's degree in international business and finance from the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is a Certified Public Accountant in California, and is a member of the American Institute of CPAs.
"Christie's extensive experience in global technology and finance will provide invaluable insights as we continue to optimize Micron's business to focus on innovation and growth," said Mehrotra. "Her specific experience with the semiconductor industry will be a great asset as our board continues to shape Micron's strategy to address the opportunities ahead."
